Is There Any Doctor Available To Analyse This Report?
Hi i had a chest exray and am a survivor of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with a malignant fistula,,,,the chest xray stated there is a small faint nodule on the R midlung and it could represent confluent rib and vascular shadows although a small parenchymal nodule is possible it said also that the lungs are mildly hyper aerated can you shed light on what could be wrong ,,,,thank you Michelle

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The nodule is a small rounded opacity of diameter 3 mm approximately. In your report it is not confirmed if there is a nodule and speculation exists. To make sure, as you are a cancer survivor, I suggest you get a CT scan chest done and discuss it with your doctor. As pointed out, the possibility of a false positive nodular appearance of normal vessel persists.
